Insuficiencia Cardiaca follows a rigorous double-blind peer review process to ensure the quality, integrity, and scientific validity of all published manuscripts. In this process, the identities of both authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the review procedure.
All submitted manuscripts undergo an initial editorial assessment to determine their suitability for the journal’s scope, originality, scientific merit, and compliance with submission requirements. Manuscripts that successfully pass this preliminary evaluation are assigned to at least two independent experts in the relevant field for peer review.
Reviewers evaluate submissions based on their methodological rigor, clinical relevance, ethical standards, clarity of presentation, and contribution to the advancement of cardiovascular medicine. Based on the reviewers’ recommendations, the Editor-in-Chief or handling editor may decide to accept the manuscript, request minor or major revisions, or reject the submission.
The journal is committed to maintaining the highest standards of publication ethics and adheres to the principles and best practices established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). Editors, reviewers, and authors are expected to uphold ethical conduct, confidentiality, transparency, and integrity throughout the publication process.
The editorial office strives to provide authors with timely and constructive feedback and to ensure an efficient, fair, and transparent review process for all submissions.
